VIcE-PREsIDENT WHEELER DEAD
WATERFOWL, June 4.-Hon. William A.
Wheeler died at his home, in Malone, at
1910 this morning. He remained in a
comatese condition during the night and
passed peacefully away without any sign of
recognition of those at his bedside.
Mr.. Wheeler had no near relativ in the
world to minister to him during his illness
or to watch by his side at his death; but
relatives of his deceased wife and friends
who have been bound to him from beyhood
by the closest ties of affection were tender
in solicitude for him, and few of them
were grouped, with bis pastor and phys-
clan, about him when the final summons
came. The approach of death was SO grad
ual that it causes no public shock even
here at his home, though there is universal
sorrow among the people. Flags are at
halfmast and emblems of mourning will
be displayed.
The funeral will be held at 1 o'clock
Tuesday, June 18th, at the Congregational
church. With q sermon by the pastor, to
whom Mr.. Wheeler had been almost Sec
ond father.
A meeting of citizens will be held this
evening to appoint committees to arrange
for citizens memorial service to be held
on Tuesday evening, and at which men
who were associates and friends of his youth
and mature manhood will voice their own
and the communty's love for him. Pres.
Cleveland, who is in the Adirondacks and
within few hours ride of here, has been
apprised of Mr.. Wheeler's death and time
of funeral. The following telegram has
been received from ex-President Hayes:
Fremont, Ohio: Mrs. Hayes and l have
heard with the deepest sorrow of the death
of our friend, Mr.. Wheeler. l will attend
the funeral with my son.
[Signed] r. B. HAYES.

A VOLCANO IN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ARIZONA, June 2.-Senor Campo, who has
just arrived from Nacosari, states that au-
thentic news has reached the Oposura that
at the time of the first earthquake volcano
broke out on the Chihuahua side of the
Sierra Madre mountains, near Piedras YER
des, and about thirty miles west of Casas
Grandes. Different parties, numbering
thirty persons in all, have gone from Casas
Grandes to inspect the volcano, but owing
10 the intense heat they have been unable
to approach nearer than within three miles
of the mass of molten lava which pours
down the mountain side and which is esti-
mated to extend fully ten miles from the
crater of the volcano. Volumes of smoke
by day and red glare by night from the
burning mountain are visible for long dis
lance. Gov. Torres, of Sonora, has direct
ed that a party be sent from Oposura to in
spect and report upon the phenomenon.
A slight shock of earthquake was felt
here on Monday, and another at clock
on Tuesday morning.

ARRIVAL OF CARDINAL G1BBoNs.-The
New York correspondent of the Bait. Sun
says that Cardinal Gibbons, who left home
January 30 for Rome to receive from the
Pope the red hat, reached New York Satur-
day on the steamer Umbris, accompanied
by Rev. P. J. Donohoe, his chancellor
The Umbria, Capt. McMickan, arrived off
Sandy Hook before noon Saturday, having
made the swiftest trip on record from
Queenstown, Ireland, to Sandy Hook, six
days, four honrs and twelve minutes-quick-
or time by one hour than that which was
previously made by the. Etruria, of the same
company, which achievement up to Saturday
remained unsurpassed. On Sunday morn
ing, May 30, Cardinal Gibbons celebrated
mass in Queenstown, and on its conclusion
went aboard the Umbria. Sunday morn
ing he oficiated at pontifical high mass in
the New York. Cathedral.

MIR. O'BRIEN AND THE NEW YORK La
BoR UNIoN.-Mr. William O'Brien's re-
fusal to attend mass-meeting of working
people, held in New York Saturday night,
under the auspices of the Labor Union,
may lessen his influence with admirers of
Mr.. Henry Georges doctrines of confisca-
ton, but it will tend to increase his reputa-
ton for sagacity with the general Ameri-
can public. Whatever the theory of the
"plan of campaign" Mr.. O'Brien declines
to be mixed up with questions that concern
only the American people. The object of
that splan," so far as Irish tenants are
concerned, is to secure rights, not to des.
troy them. The true friends of the tenants
can never favor doctrine which, if applied,
would take from them the farms they so
much desire to own in fee. The Irish
cause, Mr.. O'Brien perceives, has the hearty
sympathy of both of the great parties of
this country, and he does not wish to lesson
that sympathy by identifying the cause
with the fortunes of either, much less with
the fortunes of the Henry George party.

THE TOLEDO COMPREHENSION
LY WELCOMED HOME AND PRESENTED
WITH $1,000.-The Toledo Cadets upon
their arrival at home from the national drill
were given an enthusiastic reception. Mayor
Hamilton welcomed them and other
speeches were made. At night a grand
banquet was given the cadets and they
were presented with $1,000 purse made
up by citizens of Toledo.
A press dispatch from Toledo says: The
feeling is strong that the Cadets were un.
fairly treated at the drill. The International
Fair Association offers to back them for a
purse of $5, 600 against the Lomax Rifles,
the drill to occur at The fair next septem-
her. Splitter & Co., leading banking firm
of this city, tonight issued a challenge to
the Lomax Rifles, the winners of the prize
drill at Washington, to drill against the
Toledo Cadets, of this city, for $1,000. The
challenge specifies that the drill shall take
place on or before August 1st, in either
Chicago OF Cincinnati, with preference
for the former place. The challenge will
remain open until June 10.

THE NEW CoMET.-The comet recently
discovered turns out to be very small af-
fair, though it is relatively near the earth
Its distance from us is now 10000. 900
miles, and by the latter part of June this
will be reduced to 26,OOO,OOO, when the
comet will be three times as bright as now
Yet it will not at any time be visible with
out the aid of a telescope. The comet
reaches its least distance from the sun
near the last of Juue, 115, 900, 900 miles -
1t is now 100, 000 900 miles from the sun
and travelling along outside the earth's orbit
in direction approximately parallel with
the course of the earth, SO that it will re-
main a long time in view of astronomers.
There is no record of any comet like this,
and it probably visits the solar system now
for the first time.

What the Valley Virginian's cry Of Ring
is worth.

1t will be remembered that in the late
canvass the Valley Yirginian, as is its
wont, attempted to make capital against
the Democrats by raising the cry of ring
rule-charging that the will of the people
was not consulted, Snand that few, in oppo-
sition to the will of the majority, ruled the
Democratic party. Now, how stand the
facts? The Democratic candidates were
nominated by the voice of more than three
thousand voters, whilst the Republican
ticket was put in the field by the Republi-
can County CommiHee-the mass Of the
party having no voice in the matter at all.
This Committee dictated the ticket. 1t de-
creed who, of all the Republican aspirants
for Office, should be on the ticket and who
should not. Neither the candidates nor
the voters were allowed their choice-the
will of the Committee was the law as to
them.
Yet, Notwithstanding these facts, the
Pirginian raises its voice to its highest
pitch and cries, 'Ring! Ring the
Democrats are controlled by ring" The
Virginian does not complain, as will be
seen by an extract from its article published
elsewhere in this issue, that the committee
dictated the ticket, but that it did it in such
"blundering" manner.

KILLED BY A BOILER ExPLosIoN.-A
telegram from Huntington, Cabell county,
West Virginia, dated May 9Oth, says This
morning the boiler on the elevator at the
foot of Twentieth street exploded, killing
T. H. Reece, John Kelly and W. K. AL
bertson, and badly ipjuring John Cox,
engineer, George Newman, boss of the
gang, and Chauncey Bossinger, son Of H..
G. Bossinger, enc of the Chesapeake and
Ohio foremen, besides dozen or more
others whose wounds are not considered
dangerous. John Perry is missing, and
there were thirty men on the elevator at
the time. The engine was run by an old
locomotive boiler that had been condemned
from the Chesapeake and Ohio road, and
the engineer was inexperienced. The ele-
vator was completely wrecked. Several
box cars which were waiting to be loaded
and the barge Philo full of corn were
damaged.

Old S0rrel.

Mr.. Frederick Webster, the taxidermist.
of Washington, has spent many months OF
labor on the work of mounting sold Sor-
rel" as Jaskson's favorite steed was called
during his last years. Although the horse
is reproduced as true to life as it is possible
to make him, yet only the hide and the
hoofs are there.
Just one year ago Mr.. Webster was sum-
moned to Richmond, Va, to perform the
last sad rites, which in his art are the fir st
on the horse. Old Sorrel breathed his last
surrounded by the veterans of the home,
who had found peculiar pleasure in kind
" caring for him in his last days. 1t was
not unnatural that those who had so ten
derby nursed him for the memories that
clustered about him should have turned
aside to brush away tho tears when the lit
tie horse died.
HIS epitaph IS simple, but between the
lines speaks volumes.

A newspaper printed at Dolores Argen-
tine Republic, which is situated near the
volcanic region, gives an account of mys-
FERROUS shower of stones which fell near
that city a few weeks ago. The stones are
said to have fallen as thick as hail, and
varied in size from pebble to very re-
spectacle boulder. Incalculable damage
was done to the crops, tall trees were
shivered to atoms, barns and outhouses
were demolished and many domestic ami
mails were killed. In some localities the
ground was covered with the bodies of wild
geese and hawks, which appeared to have
been killed during their flight in the air.
Several persons were struck and badly in
jured while at work in the fields. and in the
city itself, which missed the violence of the
shower, one dwelling was wrecked. The
stones are said to have fallen continuously
for more than minute.

WEST VIRGINIA FOR TUcKER.-West
Virginia joins Virginia in recommending
Hon. John Randolph Tucker for appoint
ment as Judge on the q. 8. Supreme Court.
The Monroe county (W. Va.) Watchman
says
''Some of the ablest men of the Repub-
lie are now being brought to President
Cleveland's notice as suitable to succeed tho
late Judge Woods upon the Supreme Bench
of the United States; and in this distin-
guished company tho Hon. j. Randolph
Tucker of Virginia, stands the peer of any.
As a jurist who has made his profession his
life's study, as man of acknowledged in
tellectual superiority, and as gentleman
of absolutely spotless integrity, Mr.. Tucker
seems singularly we'll qualified to fill this
position. West Virginia joins the appeal
in behalf of the Old Domiuion's favorite
son; and should. this high honor be event
ually bestowed upon him, we may feel sure
that upon shoulders more worthy could the
judicial ermine never be placed"

A PRETTY SToRY.-The Hon. VIM. J..
Stone, member of Congress from Kentucky,
delivered the address Saturday week, Con-
federate Memorial Day, in Charlestown,
W. Va. He was a captain in the Confed-
crate army. A story has been published
to the effect that latter the battle of Rich
mond, KY, the ladies of the town fastened
to the battlefield to render assistance to
the wounded. Among those lying on the
field and supposed to be dying in the fierce
rays of the August sun, was stalwart
young Kentucky captain. One of the la
dies gathered up several muskets, and,
forcing them into the ground by their bay
onets, hung her shawl over them so as to
shelter his face, and by other attentions
added to his comfort and probably prolong-
ed his life until lie could be removed to the
hospital, where his leg was amputated.
That young officer was Captaia Stone, and
the young lady has for many years been
Mrs. Stone.
